Chimera Station

About this board game

Chimera Station is a customizable worker-placement board game for 2–4 players, with sessions lasting around 90 minutes.

In this 2017 game, workers can be modified during play by splicing claws, tentacles, leaves, additional brains, or any combination of these components onto them. These evolving workers are sent to gather valuable resources and help shape your approach to the station.

Resources include points, food, credits, and the living parts used to create and modify workers. The game also challenges players to build and expand a space station, opening up a wide range of strategic and tactical possibilities as the station develops.

• 12 standard action spaces
• 40 additional action spaces provided by modules
• 22 perks
• 16 ways to configure aliens using different components
• 4 different races

The combination of modular station development and in-game worker customization gives Chimera Station its distinctive twist on the worker-placement genre. With many available configurations and station options, each game offers a broad space for planning and tactical decisions.

The artwork is by Brian Patterson, known for the webcomic d20Monkey. For players interested in worker placement with customizable workers, evolving action spaces, and a science-fiction station setting, Chimera Station presents a richly varied strategic experience.
